Killing time before the islands…
G’ day everyone. I would have left for the train station by now but my new shirt is being tailored for 9:30. I am having trouble talking to tourists for some reason. There are so many of them, mostly my parents age so conversations are eluding me. I have to resort to broken english with the ladies at the massage parlor and the beer vendor on the beach who rolls his cigarettes in bamboo.
I came to the cafe again this morning because I don’t know how readily accessible the internet will be on the south. The plan for the day is to take the train to Chumphon, and a boat to Ko Tao, where dirt cheap scuba certification is the big draw. Then the next day to my intended destination of Ko Phagnan, the island of the full moon party for November 5.
I have recieved all your comments, and much appreciate any suprises in my inbox (all things posted here get sent to my email)
My main concern with the trip is to find a balance between the loner me and the drunken tourists I see in the bars. My shyness is subsiding, but I ain’t the life of the party yet.
I’ll have pictures soon.
